  • Introduction: History
    Introduction: "Key to the global village", that is how the Smart Card has been described. Smart Cards will bring big changes to the way people provide and receive information and the way they spend money. They will have a profound impact on retailing and service delivery. A Smart Card is like an "electronic wallet". It is a standard credit card-sized plastic intelligent token within which a microchip has been embedded within its body and which makes it 'smart'. It provides not only memory capacity, but computational capability as well and thus the chip is capable of processing data. It has gold contacts that allow other devices to communicate with it. This chip holds a variety of information, from stored (monetary) value used for retail and vending machines to secure information and applications for higher-end operations such as medical/healthcare records. New information and applications can be added depending on the chip capabilities. Smart Cards can store several hundred times more data than a conventional card with a magnetic stripe and can be programmed to reveal only the relevant information. For example, it could tell a device in a store that there is sufficient balance in an account to pay for a transaction without revealing the balance amount. The marriage between a convenient plastic card and a microprocessor allows information to be stored, accessed and processed either online or offline. Therefore, unlike the read-only plastic card, the processing power of Smart Cards gives them the versatility needed to make payments, to configure your cell phones, TVs and video players and to connect to your computers via telephone, satellite or the Internet anytime, anywhere in the world.

  • Smart Cards Vs Mag Stripe Cards
    Benefits of Smart Cards versus Magnetic Stripe Cards for Healthcare Applications Smart cards have significant benefits versus magnetic stripe (“mag stripe”) cards for healthcare applications. First, smart cards are highly secure and are used worldwide in applications where the security and privacy of information are critical requirements. • Smart cards embedded with microprocessors can encrypt and securely store information, protecting the patient’s personal health information. • Smart cards can allow access to stored information only to authorized users. For example, all or portions of the patient’s personal health information can be protected so that only authorized doctors, hospitals and medical staff can access it. The rules for accessing medical information can be enforced by the smart card, even when used offline. • Smart cards support strong authentication for accessing personal health information. Patients and providers can use smart health ID cards as a second factor when logging in to access information. In addition, smart cards support personal identification numbers and biometrics (e.g., a fingerprint) to further protect access. • Smart cards support digital signatures, which can be used to determine that the card was issued by a valid organization and that the data on the card has not been fraudulently altered since issuance. • Smart cards use secure chip technology and are designed and manufactured with features that help to deter counterfeiting and thwart tampering. • Smart cards can help to reduce healthcare fraud by providing strong identity authentication of patients and providers. The use of secure smart chip technology, encryption and other cryptography measures makes it extremely difficult for unauthorized users to access or use information on a smart card or to create duplicate cards.

  • Oral History of Jerome Svigals
    Oral History of Jerome Svigals Interviewed by: Dag Spicer Recorded: June 19, 2007 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X4067.2007 © 2007 Computer History Museum Jerome Svigals Oral History Dag Spicer: Okay, it’s June 19, 2007, in Mountain View, California at the Computer History Museum. This is Dag Spicer, senior curator of the museum and we’re here with Jerome Svigals, who’s an IBM veteran and someone who’s done several interesting things related to computing. So Jerome, I want to start with some of the major events related to the history of computing that you were involved with, and then we can go back a little bit if it’s appropriate to the earlier formative experiences in your life, let’s say going to school, or if you were in the services during the war, those kind of things. Jerome Svigals: I think my earliest computing experience was working on ENIAC at Aberdeen Proving Ground. I went there as an assignment at the beginning of the Korean War, and I became one of the first 50 programmers of the ENIAC computer. Spicer: Back up a year or two before you started working on the ENIAC and tell us how you got that job. Svigals: Where I actually got it was through the military. I was in the tail-end of World War II, and I was in Army Ordinance. They’re responsible for weapons and weapon systems. And I signed up as a lieutenant in the Reserve, and then went to college. When I got out of college in early 1950 along came the Korean War, and I got recalled.

  • Magnetic Stripe Cards (All You Ever Wanted to Know and Some You Didn't)
    Magnetic Stripe Cards (All you ever wanted to know and some you didn't) written and compiled by John Kay April 1995 (updated April 2000) There is frequently confusion, doubt and even misinformation surrounding the humble magnetic stripe card. The following is a comprehensive guide to technical aspects of magnetic stripe cards, it is my attempt to divulge all the facts (as far as I know them and can uncover them, so please use this information with care). Background Magnetic stripe cards are without the most widely used cards in the world, both in access control and banking and have been around since the 1960's. While other card technologies are forging ahead and gaining wide acceptance the magnetic stripe card, due to the shear number of bank cards, credit cards, loyalty cards and the like is still by far the most widely used card world-wide. There are two types of magnetic material used to form the magnetic stripe of a magnetic stripe card: Standard Credit Cards use 300 Oersted magnetic tape that is generally brown in colour. High Coercivity Cards use 4000 Oersted magnetic tape that is generally black in colour. An Oersted (symbol Oe) is the CGS electro-magnetic unit of field strength. 1Oe = 103/4p Am-1 Standard magnetic tape is available from many sources and is similar to audio or videotape. High Coercivity is generally agreed to be of a value of 4000 Oersted. The 3M company is the major supplier of 4000 Oersted tape. Other manufacturers produce tape of 3500, 3000 and even 2750 Oersted that are all considered High Coercivity (Hi-Co).

  • The EMV Chip Card Transition: Background, Status, and Issues for Congress
    The EMV Chip Card Transition: Background, Status, and Issues for Congress Patricia Moloney Figliola Specialist in Internet and Telecommunications Policy May 17, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43925 The EMV Chip Card Transition: Background, Status, and Issues for Congress Summary Consumer financial card fraud due to data breaches of card information is an ongoing problem in the United States. The majority of breaches are carried out against point-of-sale (POS) systems, and are facilitated by what many consider to be the weak link in the U.S. retail sales payment process: the continued use of magnetic stripe cards (also referred to as stripe-and-signature cards). These cards are still what most U.S. consumers think of when referring to financial cards. In much of the rest of the world, cards that provide a much higher level of security for conducting sales transactions have been used for many years: EMV cards, named for the coalition of card brands Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (the EMV Coalition or EMVCo) that developed the specifications for the system in the 1990s. EMV cards store card information on an embedded microchip and are more commonly called chip cards. With these cards, instead of swiping and signing to make a payment, the cardholder inserts the card into the POS machine, then either enters a personal identification number (PIN) or signs to verify the transaction. On October 1, 2015, the liability for fraudulent transactions involving magnetic stripe cards shifted to the entity—card issuer (e.g., bank, credit union) or merchant—that had not yet made the transition.
